Trousers for Women.


 From the San Francisco Calll
 Mme. dc Ealsayre,, .well-knnwn Parisienne, has -t,ct1tioneEths French chambers to pass law forbiddlng women to wear skirts and requiring them to wear trousers. The petition is based on grounds which Mrs. Bloom CT and others have rendered familiar in this country. The French dress re- former dwells especially on the hygie- nic advantages of the bifurcated gar ment, which she pronounees cheaper as well as more modest. By this time, in all probability, a committee of the chambers is receiving evidence on the point. We are not sufficiently famil- far with the powers conferred upon the chambers by the constitution to feel certain whether they can legislate on so delicate @ subject Parliament can, as 1t has proved on several occa- sions. It would be competent for the house of lords and commons to make the wearing of petticoats a misde- meanor, or even a felony, fer that mat ter, and the English coprts would have to execute the law. In this country neither congress nor the state legislatures could meddle with the matter. They were even powerless against hoopskirts.
 It is rather curious that, simulta- neously with the revolt against skirts in such centers Of christian civilization as Paris and London, there should be a corresponding movementagaiust the bifurcated garments among the women of Asia. At latest dates the court ladies of Japan were ordering dresses from Worth. 6kirt-wearcrs must re- member that they are in the minority. # suppose that there a-e GJ5.00G,- GOO women in the world, as recent works on population lead us to believe. only about 200,00O,O00 of these wear skirts, while fully 350000,000 wear bifurcated garments and the remain ing 100,0O0,0O0 dispense with both. Mme. de VaIsyre, like Mrs. Bloomer and her disciples, declares that the Asiastic dress is the better for hygiene and modesty. Still, we imagine they will be long time in convincing their fashionable sisters that they had bet ter send to Tehoran for their fashion plates.

Religion In Western Texas.
TFrom tie Detroit Free Press. l


 While in Val Verde county, n the summer of 1886, investigating some land titles, I attended camp-meeting. The minister who presided invited those wishing to be prayed for to occu- py the front seats. A green-lookipg young Knight of the Lariat," among others, made his way to the front. He was taken Tn charge by one of the deacons, who thus addressed him:
 "Now, my dear young friend, don't you love Jesus; Jesus who died that you might live forever in the world beyond; don't you love hiY ?''
 "Wa-al, YVES the answer, five hear'n tell on him, an I guess I hain I got nuthin' agln' him"
 Let the reader joln in indulging the hope that time has brought to an ln- telligent idea of Christianity our young friend who had "nuthin' agln him, , and 1 Wlll quote the prayer of the chaplain of a West Texas company just before the storming of Monterey during the Mexican war.
 "Oh, Lord, said he, "we are about to join battle with vastly superior numbers of the enemy, and, Heavenly Father, we would like nightly for you to be on our side and help us. but if you can't do It, for heavens sake don't go over to the greasers, but just lie low and keep dark, and you will see one of the toughest fights you ever saw in all your born days ''
 In examining a history of religion in the early days of Texas I find the following remarkable language to have been used by preacher in western county during the course of a sermon
 Now, my dear friends, let us req son together. Suppose you lose your property, you can work for more; i you lcse your wives, you can marry again; were you to lose your children you might have more. but if you lose your immortal souls, up the spout you go."

EOod Economy.

From the Engineering and Mining Journal
 The recent meeting of the American Aezociatiou for the Adeanccment of Science was one of the most successful ever held. Every year seems to add to the interest of these meetings and to that Of the subjects discussed.
 or these latter one which received, and deservededly received, very great attention was the subject of Food Economy.
 As the readers of the Engineering and Mining Journal know, we have again insisted on the importance of this subject. As we said ten years ago, every measure which secures the better utilization of the means at the disposal of our wage-earners is equiv alent to permanent advance ln wa ges, for wages are not to be measured by the number of dollars a man earns in a mouth, but by the amount of the necessaries and comforts of life. which his earnings will obtan for him.
 If technical instruction and skill in our workmen be essential to the economcal development of industry, and the welfare of those engaged in it, the technical education of their wives is not whit less important. Those who are familiar with the expenditures and modes Of life of the wage classes at our chief mining and metallurgical centers can not fail to be struck by the amount of waste and the extrava- gance of their expenditures. It is not to be inferred from thIs that they live too we'll; but that through ignorance of the actual and comparative values of different edibles. through ignorance of the best ways Of preparing palata- -ble food, of housekeeping in all it's branches, It is not uncommon to find the family of a mIner spending mere for wretched living and uncomforta- ble home than is spent in many pleas ant and comparatively luxurious one. We are all but too familiar with strikes agalnst greater or less reduc- tons, or for increase in wages; but the working classes have more to gain in comfort and well-being by the bet ter technical education of their wives and daughters, by more intelligence and skill Tn their homes, than they could gain should they obtain the most e1travagant demands for which strike was ever instituted.
 In the discussion which this subject brought up at the meeting, Mrs. Pro lessor Richards, of Boston. Nassachu- sets, gave a description of the cook ing schools in that State. They found that such knowledge was best incul- cated when the girls were taught at from l2 to II years of age. These les sons frequently resulted III such changes of cooking in the homes Of the girls as manifested beneficial re- suits in the manners, dispositions, and morals of the family. She advocated industrial cooking schools in connec- ton with the public schools.

reputation has been patiently, steadi- Iy and justly earned. Prof. Newcome, of Washington, once spoke of him as "an example of the tardy recognition of the claims of genius" Through all his early failures and his later sue cesses he was constantly bright, cheer ful and companionable. aRd those who had the privilege of his acquaintance were glad to listen to his words, his thoughts always being expressed in simple, clear and unmistakable lan- guage.

The Modern Cook. Book Dinner.

The modern recipes for making cheap
dishes are framed upon the supposition
that you are to obtain the materials OF
manufacture for nothing. They should
be written in this form: Go to the market
and beg beef bone from the butcher
steal a couple of parsnips and half
dozen of potatoes out of the peddler's
cart get your grocer to trust you for
half pound of rice; borrow from your
neighbor a cupful of flour from another
neighbor a hod of coal put your bone
into a quart of water and let it stew
slowly; slice your potatoes and parsnipsj
get an onion somewhere and slice it also;
put these in with the bone; stew two
hours and add your -four; simmer twenty
minutes and serve. This dinner will
supply a father and mother and twelve
children, and there will be enough left

About 10000 people are annually
destroyed in India by animals, and of
these nineteen are said to be bitten by
snakes The number of human victims
tepds to increase, in spite of the fact
that the number of wild beasts and
snakes destroyed has doubled in the last
ten years, and that the Government re-
ward paid for their determination has
risen proportlonately. Nearly 1-2 lakhs
of rupees about $125,O00) were thus
paid in 1884. Next to venomous rep
tiles, tigers claim most victims Ten
years ago wolves, mostly in the North
west provinces and Oudh, killed five
times as many people as of late years !;
but the determination of wolves seems to
be going on rapidly. Leopards are the
alleged cause of death to about 200 hu-
man beings annually. Apart from the
loss of human life, the returns show an
annual destruction of so, 900 head of
cattle.

A Uninne Bust.

Everything that represents Mrs. Cleve'
land, the Presidents wife, seems to have
interest to the millions of people in thia
country. Her photographs are sold
everywhere, and the photographs tell
me they all make money by them. An
enterprising plaster-cast molder has made
a small bust of the first lady in the land,
and they are sold about the city Of
Washington for good price. but now
the Government has gone into making
likenesses of the fair mistress of the
White House. The old and mutilated
bank notes, when they come back to the
United States Treasury, are chopped up
and made into pulp, and this is nodded
into various shapes and forms. The lat.
est design is a miniature bust of Mrs.
Cleveland. 1t takes $40, 600 worth OF
bank notes to make one of the fair
Presidents wife, and each figure is
labeled: "Made from mutilated U. s.
bank notes worth $40, ,000." These are
sold for fair price, and are having

The fact that during the recent cold
weather there was much loss of cattle in
transportation from Texas to Chicago,
leads the New York Tribune to say edi-
toriAlly: "Cattle kept in closely packed
cars two or three days without fodder or
water necessarily become diseased and
consequently unfit fer food. Reduced in
flesh by starvation, their blood fevered
by thirst, their nervous systems disor-
dered by the crowding and jolting on
the railroad, these poor creatures are
hurried to the stockyards, and often be-
fore they have had a chance to repair the
fatigue of the journey they are converted
into beef. Such meat is not wholesome
and should not be marketable. The men
who care nothing for the sufferings of
dumb beasts, and are reckless as to the
effect of putting unwholesome meat on
the market, would undoubtedly see the
wisdom OF treating their cattle with de
cent humanity if they found that their
brutal methods cut down their profits"

The Boston Post has been making cal
culations as TO what man ''takes out Of
himself" when he chases after moving
train. The following conclusions are
reached: 'The mental disturbance in
such cases must add, should Judge,
about twenty beats minute to the ac-
ton of the heart, so that he who runs for
a train at the speed of ten miles hour
is really taking it out of himself at the
rate of twenty miles an hour; and if, as
must frequently happen, the runner is
conscious of this fact, why, then, at
least five heart beats more a minute must
be added as the effect of such mental
iDtroversion, aud thus the margin of
safety becomes exceedingly small"

UNITY.

Ono law there is for every grain OF sand
And every star. Howe'er the sand be blown
BY shifting winds about, or shoreward
thrown
BY surge of wave resistless, yet the Hand
That on the'farthest star lays strict command,
To hold it fast in orbit all its own,
Not for one breath space leaves the specl
alone,
But brings It still at last as first was planned.
So is't with spirits, too; one law there is,
Here where we toss and turn so aimlessly,
The sport Of whim and chance, and yonder.
where
They move in rest, their souls encircling His.
The wave will pass, the wind lie down, and
we
With them shall rest, their fun obedience
share.
